C. Young - 6.0 IP 3 H 0 ER 2 BB 6 K 1.93 ERA. 95 pitches, 66 strikes.
Chris Young threw six innings of shutout baseball on Wednesday night, but Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez was Young's equal, keeping San Diego off the board. Young struck out the first four Rockies he faced, lowering his league-low ERA to 1.93. Colorado picked up two runs off the Padres bullpen in the seventh after both starters had finished their performances and Colorado was on their way to the 3-0 win.
"I definitely was a little sharper today. My fastball command was a lot better," Young said. "I still feel like I'm not quite there with my stuff. But there's no pain ... I think there's some weakness. I was talking to [Mike Cameron] about it, and he said it can take a couple of months."
Will Venable was 1-3 at the plate in San Antonio's 6-4 victory over Springfield. Venable was also picked off on the basepaths for the first time this season.
